German term or phrase: Gebockel
Erstens ist Ziegenmilch scheisse, weil sie nach *Gebockel* schmeckt. Und zweitens gibt die hier gar keine Milch mehr.

Kann sein, dass ich es hier falsch gehört habe.
Hab keine Dialogliste zu diesem Film.

Explanation:
I've heard people say 'Ziegenmilch schmeckt wie ein Ziegenbock riecht' and I think this is what's meant here.
I like the word 'Gebockel' (never heard it before), but I think I would avoid it and translate the sentence:

First of all, goat milk tastes (like) s**t.

aus dem Internet:
... mir schien, dass maunzen, brummen, galoppieren, traben, schnüren, gockeln, fischeln (nach Fisch riechen), bockeln (nach Ziegenbock stinken)
noch fehlten...
